‘Timeshare King’ dies ANTONI MULDOON has died. The self-confessed conman and scammer who was sentenced to sevenand-a-half years in jail recently disclosed he was terminally ill with six months to a year left to live.

Muldoon passed away on Tuesday, about a month after revealing he was ill.

He said: “I have never hidden the fact that I have been a bad boy in the past but have done much to atone for it since my release from prison.”

NEWS EXTRA Bar owner meeting THE owners of beach bars in Malaga Province are set to meet in Estepona tomorrow (Friday) for the annual gathering of the Association of Chiringuitos, with the town’s mayor Jose Maria Garcia Urbano also due to attend.

Rate change TORREMOLINOS’ council has announced that the rate of the IBI property tax is set to fall by 25 per cent to 0.75 per cent after the authority made around €600,000 from the rate during recent returns.

New envoy THE conservative Partido Popular’s (PP) Patricia Navarro has been appointed as the Junta de Andalucia’s new representative in Malaga Province.

From Front Page

Scammer who pledged to go straight MULDOON was jailed in Britain in 2013 over a series of scams in that country and Spain, including one which made €6.6 million on timeshare resales.

He himself claimed to have swindled the Inland Revenue, Hollywood, large companies and around 17,300 ordinary people.

His release from prison in 2016 saw him try to atone for his con artist past by setting up the Scam Busters website to help people avoid scams.

“I discovered in prison that I didn’t like myself very much. I realised that making money from vulnerable people was not a clever thing to do,” Muldoon said.

He set up shop in Lowestoft and wrote several books following his release. Many of them were put out for free to warn the public against falling for fraudsters like himself.

Dog ‘abuse’ trial PROSECUTORS have called for a woman to be jailed for one year if found guilty of leaving two dogs without food or water for several days, causing one to die.

Prosecutors claimed the defendant left her crossbreed dog and another man’s Chihuahua in her Alhaurin el Grande home shortly before Christmas in 2015. The woman had been asked to look after the man’s Chihuahua, Prosecutors told Malaga City’s Fifth Criminal Court.

Prosecution documents claimed the woman left her

home two days before Christmas, leaving the dogs behind.

A neighbour contacted police after hearing one of the dogs barking constantly and after noticing a smell coming from the house.

Officers arrived to find the two dogs inside, covered in dirt, without food, drink, ventilation or sunlight.

One dog was dead while the other was malnourished and dehydrated.

The defendant was due to stand trial in June last year but it was later postponed to Tuesday when it opened.

PASSED AWAY: Toni Muldoon.

Muldoon was previously known for the lavish lifestyle he enjoyed on the Costa del Sol, living in a 10-bedroom mansion. He was known among the area’s business set for his charm and manners.

Britain’s Consul for Southern Spain, Charmaine Arbouin, again called on British people living in Marbella and elsewhere on the Costa del Sol to register as residents.

The increase in those registered could be due to more British expatriates applying for and securing residency status as Brexit approaches on Friday March 29, Marbella Council said.

Migrant arrivals double

By Joe Gerrard A TOTAL of 4,612 people had arrived in Spain irregularly by the end of January, more than double the amount at the same time last year according to government data.

Interior Ministry figures showed that 4,104 migrants arrived in 98 boats, compared with 1,396 people in 60 vessels in January 2018. This January’s figure is almost three times higher than that of the same time last year.

Arrivals by sea were concentrated largely on the coast of the mainland and on that of the Balearic Islands. They saw a combined total of 3,994 arrivals in 89 boats last month.

The number of migrants arriving in Spain by land dropped by 35 per cent compared to last year. The total stood at 508 at the end of last month compared to 782 in January 2018.

The Interior Ministry figures come as data from the UN’s International Organisation for Migration (IOM) showed Spain is now the leading point of entry for migrants coming to Europe.

Italy and Greece, the other two leading entry points, saw sea arrivals of 202 and 1,839 respectively last month.

Migrants from the Middle East and North and West Africa continue to journey to Europe to flee poverty, war and persecution in their home countries.

Cancer death rate down THE cancer mortality rate has dropped by 18 per cent worldwide since 1990, it has emerged.

Scientists at the Society of Medical Oncology predict 277,234 cases of cancer will be diagnosed in Spain this year, but many will be survivable.

Jose Marcilla, General Director of Novartis Oncology Spain, said: “Although the number of diagnoses will continue to grow, fortunately today we are facing a new era in the approach to cancer, marked by increased survival, the arrest of progression and improving the quality of life of patients.”

The Observer talks Brexit with EWN THE editor of the Euro Weekly News sat down with a journalist for The Observer to talk Brexit and how it is affecting British expatriates in Spain.

Dilip Kuner met with The Guardian and Observer’s International Affairs Correspondent Emma Graham-Harrison for a feature which appeared on the British newspaper’s site last Sunday.

Our editor told Ms Graham-Harrison that our letters and readers’ comments suggested there was a more or less even split between Leavers and Remainers amongst expatriates, much like in Britain.

“From our postbag, I’d say it’s pretty evenly split. The divide was very much reflected here among the expatriate community, which I found surprising. I thought it would be very much more a Remain vibe,” Mr Kuner said.

Post-Brexit healthcare THE UK Embassy in Spain has reassured Britons in Spain that plans to safeguard their right to healthcare in the country are well advanced.

The move comes after official UK government advice was published telling people to check on healthcare arrangements in each individual EU country they intend to visit after Brexit.

However an Embassy spokesperson in Spain clarified the statement for UK nationals living in

Spain, saying: “It is a priority for the UK’s Department of Health, and for the British Embassy in Madrid, to ensure UK nationals living or working in the EU can continue to access the healthcare they need as we exit the EU. “The Spanish government has already announced that it is planning contingency measures to guarantee healthcare provisions to UK nationals living in Spain starting on the date of the UK's withdrawal from the EU if there is no agreement, on a reciprocal basis.”

BREXIT BRIEF

EU expat help BRITISH expatriate campaign groups have praised Members of the European Parliament (MEPs) after they called on senior EU officials to offer guarantees that current rights would be protected.

Members of the New Europeans campaign group said EU officials including European Council (EC) president Donald Tusk were responsible for what happened to British people in the bloc after Brexit.

It comes as the European Parliament’s Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs Committee is due to begin debating offering guarantees to the 1.5 million British nationals living in the EU. Roger Casale, of New Europeans, said the issue was a test of EU values. His group is campaigning for a new visa to protect British expatriates’ rights and those of EU citizens in Britain.

His comments follow 25 British MEPs writing a letter to Tusk and European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker calling for guarantees.

Clauide Moraes, a Labour MEP who signed the letter, said ‘fundamental rights’ were at stake. “This is a moral issue,” Moraes said.

A British government spokesperson called on the EU to offer guarantees as Britain has done for EU citizens there.

BREXIT EXTRA

Facing deadlock

By Joe Gerrard BRITAIN’S prime minister has vowed to ‘battle for Britain’ when she returns to Brussels to secure amendments to her Brexit deal which EU officials rallied around this week.

Theresa May wrote in The Telegraph that she would be armed with a fresh mandate to secure changes to the Withdrawal Agreement.

It comes as EU officials and member states again said the current deal remains the best and only option for an orderly withdrawal on Friday, March 29.

The opening salvos in May’s ‘battle for Britain’ came in the form of a war of words between officials in London, Brussels and the capitals of the EU’s other 27 member states.

EU officials were particularly critical of renewed calls to ditch the Northern Irish backstop in favour of unspecified ‘alternative arrangements.’

UNITED FRONT: EU officials have rallied round the deal. said the backstop was not up for renegotiation.

The backstop is designed to prevent a hard border falling between Northern Ireland and the Republic if future EU-Britain trade talks break down.

British International Trade Secretary Liam Fox said it would be ‘irresponsible’ for the EU to refuse to reopen talks.

Ireland’s Foreign Minister Simon Coveney said the backstop was nec-

essary and said no credible alternative arrangements had been put forward.

German Chancellor Angela Merkel said Britain and the EU could reach a ‘creative solution’ to break the deadlock. She did not specify details.

The backstop looks likely to turn May’s battle into a war of attrition.

She will have little time to fight one, with the next Parliamentary vote on her deal set for next Tuesday.

GREG CLARK, British Business Secretary, has said the government secretly promised car maker Nisssan state aid worth around €91.2 million to help save plans to build the new XTrail model in Sunderland after Brexit.

Tunnel funds OFFICIALS in London have set aside funds of almost €912,000 to hire a law firm in the event of Channel Tunnel operator Getlink suing over the impact of Brexit, which sources say is ‘highly likely.’

Immunisation leaders EXPERTS at a recent health conference confirmed while Spain leads the world on vaccinations, it could still do more.

Speaking at the 2019 MSD Virtual Congress of Vaccines, MSD’s global vice president of marketing, Patrick Bergstedt, said: “Vaccines face a challenge: mistrust, not only in Spain but throughout Europe.”

He added: “It is incredible

that in 2019 this is a risk, but we have seen many outbreaks of diseases throughout Europe, including measles, which are motivated by anti-vaccination movements. It’s a serious matter.”

The expert warned misinformation around vaccines had increased the risk of outbreaks of diseases previously thought to be under control.

‘One of the largest’ truffles found in Spain A SPANISH supplier has found one of the country’s largest ever truffles, weighing 750 grammes.

The luxury food, labelled the ‘black diamond’ of the restaurant industry, will be served up by restaurant Goya Gallery in Valencia.

The truffle, which was found in the Abejuela area between Valencia and Castellon Province, was handed over to the restaurant’s owner Fernando Navarro.

Truffles normally retail for around €1,200 per kilo, however experts believe this specimen could be worth more because it is rare to find one single truffle weighing so much.

Child poverty almost doubles THERE are around 139,000 households where children live with parents who have no income, according to Spain’s Labour Force Survey, almost double the amount in 2008 before the last recession.

Data from the survey was cited by the country’s High Commissioner of Child Poverty, Pau Mari-Klose, in a speech to Parliament’s Health, Consumption and Social Welfare Commission.

Mari-Klose said it was his job to stop

and reverse Spain’s slide into the EU countries with the largest number of children in poverty.

“We still have a long way to go,” the High Commissioner said.

There are currently almost 30 per cent of children at risk of poverty in Spain.

Spain came third behind Romania and Bulgaria in terms of the number of children in poverty.

Silvia Heredia, the conservative Par-

tido Popular (PP) childhood spokesperson and her centrist Ciudadanos counterpart Felix Alvarez said the government’s child poverty agency was too dependent on funds from other departments. The High Commission should be funded from the national budget, they added.

Mari-Klose said the agency’s success depended on ongoing funding for years to come.

Teacher’s body found in canal THE body of a missing 34-year-old teacher has been found in her car in a canal in Lleida, Cataluña.

Police are now investigating whether the woman was involved in a road accident, after they found Nuria B following her disappearance at 4am on Saturday as she made her way home from a party.

Members of the Mossos d’Esquadra (Catalan police), and fire services, joined hundreds of local residents in searching for the woman, who taught at the Manuel de Montsaur Institute.

Nuria’s husband, with whom she had two children, reported her missing on Saturday afternoon. Her white Volvo was finally found in the canal, 500 metres away from where her mobile phone signal was last traced.

“We Spaniards need to feel proud of our wine and what it represents. Wine is recognised as an integral cultural element of society.

“It is the drink that most appeals to enjoyment, freedom of choice, distinction, history and culture,” AEPEV said.

The association’s call comes as Argentina declared wine its national drink in 2013.

Spain is home to 13 per cent of the world’s vineyards, according to data from the International Organisation of Wine and Vine (OIV).

PSOE’s budget

By Joe Gerrard THE ruling left-leaning Partido Socialista (PSOE) faced mounting pressure from smaller parties in Congress to tweak its budget this week.

Pro-Catalan independence parties Esquerra Republicana de Cataluyna (ERC) and the Partit Democrata Europeu Catala (PDeCAT) again threatened to veto the budget over the government’s handling of the Cataluña independence situation. Congress is due to start debating the budget next week.

Both PDeCAT and ERC have said they will veto the budget if the government does not accept the amendment. It commits Madrid to negotiating a political solution to the independence issue.

A leading member of the leftist Podemos has also called for changes to the budget despite that party and PSOE agreeing a

“We are working intensely to make sure we reach an agreement to improve the living conditions of millions of

Spaniards,” Echenique said.

PSOE has faced an uphill struggle to get their budget through Congress from the beginning because the party depends on support from smaller parties to pass legislation.

Territories Minister Meritxell Batet has called on those parties to back PSOE’s budget for the good of Spain.

woes back our budget to recover social policies which have been abandoned in recent years, generate welfare and to combat inequality and the growing poverty in our country.

“The budget is good for all of Spain and also for people who live in Cataluña or in other regions,” Batet said.

The minister said the request from the Catalan parties defied common sense but she did not say if PSOE would hold elections if the budget did not pass.

The prospect of a general election has only heightened since PSOE took power in June.

They may be the governing party but they have 84 seats in the 350-seat Congress of Deputies and 62 out of 266 in the Senate.

The opposition conservative Partido Popular (PP) has an outright majority in the Senate meaning it can veto policy. An election could be the only way to break the deadlock.

Poll results A GOVERNMENT agency which monitors public opinion in Spain has published an opinion poll which places the largest party in Congress in fourth place, raising eyebrows among its members.

The Centre for Sociological Investigation (CIS)’s polls gave the conservative Partido Popular (PP) opposition 14.9 per cent in its poll.

The ruling left-leaning Partido Socialista (PSOE) came first with 29.9 per cent, followed by the centrist Ciudadanos with 17.7 per cent and the leftist Podemos with 15.4 per cent. The far-right Vox came after the PP, with 6.5 per cent.

The results will seem anomalous to anyone who follows opinion polls regularly. Polls for the last few months (as the poll tracker below has shown) has consistently placed PSOE marginally ahead of the PP which typically came second.

Many have rationalised the result by pointing to the rise of Vox, with Ciudadanos leader Albert Rivera claiming the PP is haemorrhaging votes to the far right. There is evidence that his party has also had votes siphoned from them by Vox. The CIS also predicted PSOE win comfortably in Andalucia. That prediction was off the mark, reinforcing the need to take polls with a pinch of salt.

Poll tracker: Partido Socialista (PSOE): 22.1 per cent, 91 seats Partido Popular (PP): 20.1 per cent, 83 seats Ciudadanos: 19.6 per cent, 71 seats Unidos Podemos: 14.9 per cent, 50 seats Result: PSOE largest party, no overall control.

INE data showed that residents from the capital and the surrounding area have also moved to neighbouring provinces in large numbers.

A total of 65 per cent of people living in Almeria Province were born there. People born in the provinces of Granada, Barcelona and Jaen made up the largest share of nonnative Almeria residents.

Around 59 per cent of Alicante Province’s population are native to it, with people from

Murcia, Madrid and Albacete leading on the number of those born outside.

About 55 per cent of the Balearic Islands’ population was born there. The rest came primarily from Barcelona, Granada and Madrid.

Hundreds of witnesses have been called, including former Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy and his ex-deputy Soraya Saenz de Santamaria.

The former Deputy Prime Minister ran Cataluña after Article 155 was used to suspend

“A strong third country is needed to help advance Europeanism and Spain must occupy that space,” Lozano said.

“Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez’s activism at a European level shows Spain is back and it will play in the league which corresponds to it,” Lozano added.

The Global Spain secre-

tary also called for Britain and Spain to co-operate more closely on the international stage once the latter leaves the EU. “I firmly believe Spain and Britain must continue to work hand in hand in the international arena, in Europe and elsewhere,” Lozano said.

Lozano’s visit to Britain came as part of efforts to promote Spain abroad and boost its global standing, according to Global Spain.

Car theft reoffenders POLICE in Almeria charged two men with criminal records with stealing from vehicles.

One is suspected of breaking the windows of two cars parked in the city centre, taking a laptop from one and from the other €1,150 in cash, a laser meter and an alarm remote control. Investigations led to the arrest of the 44-year old, who has a police record for more than 30 similar offences.

The second man was accused of breaking into five vehicles in Almeria City in November and January, smashing the window glass to get his hands on radios and other items of value. Police said the 41-year-old had only just been released from prison and has notched up a hefty total of 81 arrests, mainly in Almeria.

In the latest thefts the robber stole five radios and three cases of tools valued at around €2,300.

Holiday fatality A TOURIST died in Son Espases hospital after being run over by her own hire car in Andratx on Sunday.

The 70-year-old French woman and her husband, who were staying at a hotel in Illetes, were driving to Cala Llamp, when they parked up in a pine wood so the deceased could get out to go to the toilet.

For reasons yet unknown, the car began rolling backwards ‘uncontrollably’ and the woman was knocked down and dragged several metres.

Her husband was still inside, but was unable to stop the vehicle before it came to a standstill after colliding with a tree.

Police, ambulance crews and firefighters attended and managed to lift the car, releasing the victim.

She was admitted to the hospital’s intensive care unit, but died from her ‘very serious’ injuries the same day.

The Local Police of Andratx is investigating the circumstances.

Firm welfare payment call

GDP growth falls short TOTAL economic output (Gross Domestic Product, GDP) in Spain grew by 2.5 per cent last year, a 10th less than government predictions according to the National Institute for Statistics (INE).

Quarterly year-on-year growth amounted to 0.7 per cent between October and December, one-10th higher than the previous three quarters and above government predictions. The value of GDP stood at more than €1.2 trillion, INE data showed.

Economy Minister Nadia Calvino said Spain’s economy was growing faster than that of its neighbours.

By Joe Gerrard The growth of 0.7 per cent between October and December was driven by a rise in household purchasing of 0.5 per cent compared to the previous quarter.

Government spending increases of 1.2 per cent, the highest since the first quarter of 2015, also contributed to the rise.

Gross fixed capital formation, the amount spent by firms in investments on fixed assets, fell by 0.2 per cent after growing throughout the year.

Data for different sectors showed

farming grew by 5.3 per cent in the fourth quarter of 2018 while construction rose by 1.2 per cent and services by 0.8 per cent. Industrial output shrank by 0.9 per cent, INE data showed.

Exports grew by 1.9 per cent between October and December after falling by 0.9 per cent in the previous quarter. Imports grew by 1.1 per cent during the same period.

Last year marked the third in a row where GDP growth has slowed. It grew by 3 per cent year-on-year in 2017 and 3.2 per cent in 2016, according to INE data.

SPANISH Social Security Secretary Octavio Granado has said the government would like companies to help plug gaps in the welfare budget by paying more in contributions.

Granado said Spanish companies ought to be matching the level of contributions made by businesses in other European countries. Employer contributions in Spain total around 9.7 per cent of GDP compared to the European average of 10.4 per cent.

“We do not want the competitiveness of Spain to be based on low salaries and low prices,” Granado said.

Ebioss CEO steps down THE chief executive of Spanish energy firm Ebioss Luis Sanchez Angrill, has resigned from his position after reaching an agreement with board members as restructuring continues, the company said in a statement.

Profit fall

GROWTH: Sales rose by 2 per cent.

SWEDISH fashion store chain H&M saw its sales in Spain grow by 2 per cent between December 2017 and November 2018 to €710 million, the company has said.

The results come as the company recorded a total net profit of more than €1.2 billion during the same period, 22 per cent less than the year before.

H&M’s chief executive

Karl-Johan Persson said the fall came on the back of a ‘demanding’ year for the company but added it was on the right track.

It comes as H&M has been trying to improve logistics in a bid to cut costs and boost profits, the results of which are beginning to bear fruit, Persson added.

The firm currently has 172 stores in Spain.

SPANISH distribution company Logista netted a profit of €36 million between October and December last year, 1.9 per cent less than the same time in 2017, while revenues rose by 5 per cent to €2.4 billion according to company data.

Price plan DIA, one of Spain’s largest supermarkets, has announced it will cut prices on 500 of its own-brand products by up to 30 per cent while also seeking to increase capital by €600 mill i o n i n a b i d t o s t a v e o ff competition.

Stock market hits lows THE total value of shares on Spain’s stock exchange stood at more than €38.8 billion at the end of January, the lowest figure for that month in 12 years.

Spanish Stock Exchange (BME) data showed the figure was lower than the average for January of more than €84 billion between 2008 and 2018.

The total value of trading in 2018 was more than

€587 million, 10.5 per cent less than the year before and the lowest since 2003 according to BME data.

Market analyst Pablo Fernandez de Mosteyrin said uncertainty caused by the ongoing trade war sparked by US tariff hikes, Brexit and other factors were dampening trade. The IBEX index has recovered by 6.2 per cent since the start of 2019.

Pound strengthens despite Brexit uncertainty likely to propel Sterling higher.

Meanwhile EUR investors are likely to remain focused on data coming out of the Eurozone, with any additional signs of a slowdown or a more dovish outlook from the European Central Bank likely to drag on the euro.

F i n a l l y, t h e U S d o l l a r m a y come under increasing pressure this month, if fears begin to mount that the ongoing US government shutdown is dragging on US growth.

Ask the expert Peter Loveday Contact me at euroweekly@currenciesdirect.com

S TAY I N G o n t o p o f t h e l a t e s t currency news can help you time your transfers more effect i v e l y, s o f i n d o u t w h a t y o u should be looking out for over the next couple of weeks…

Latest currency news The pound has found support in recent weeks, despite Brexit uncertainty only appearing to have heightened in the last month.

This upswing in Sterling has seen GBP/EUR climb from € 1 . 11 t o a r o u n d € 1 . 1 3 o v e r the last month.

At the same time, the GBP/USD exchange rate has risen from $1.26 to $1.28, although it also briefly plummeted to a 20-month low of $1.24

MOVEMENT: Potentially some miles left in the rising pound? on the way.

What’s been happening?

While it has remained volatile, the pound has consistently risen so far in 2019, l a rg e l y o n t h e b a c k o f d i m i n ishing fears of a no-deal Brexit.

This comes despite Theresa May’s Brexit deal being overwhelmingly rejected by Parliament as markets hope that MPs

will now exert more authority over the process; potentially pushing to stop Brexit altogether.

Meanwhile a run of gloomy data and fears that some of the Eurozone’s largest economies may be headed towards a recession has seen the euro struggle in recent weeks.

The US dollar has also given up ground this month follow-

ing a number of dovish signals from the Federal Reserve, with the US central bank now expected to adopt a more cautious approach to monetary policy in 2019.

What do you need to look out for?

Brexit is expected to continue to dominate the pound over the coming month, with a potential extension to Article 50

LEAPY LEE SAYS IT OTHERS THINK IT I TRULY do believe, that were I confronted with the individual who coined the word ‘Brexit’ I would happily abandon all my views on peace, love and compassion and take fiendish delight in strangling them with my bare hands!

Last week, I took the trouble to count how many times the word was mentioned on Alan Boulton’s Sky News programme; I actually lost count (and the will to live), after 36 utterances. But that, of course, is the whole idea is it not?

The ploy of the remoaner’s has always been to make us all so heartily sick of the whole mind-warping, utterly teeth-grinding caboodle, that we’ll accept any result which makes it simply go away (or go their way!).

Well I personally think they could well have shot themselves in the foot. The remainers’ petulant plan to create indecision and confusion in the British ranks, and particularly its politicians, has lulled the EU mob into a false sense of security.

In their arrogance and growing disdain for the UK, they are beginning to reveal their true colours, issuing statements and opinions which are showing the British public just what they truly do think of us.

Well I have news for all of them; the British

FEATURE

A change in mood

BETTER OUT: Britain doesn’t need to be part of a ‘super state.’ bulldog can take considerable umbrage when mistaken for a mug. Particularly when it finds itself at the receiving end of insults from nations they never had much respect for in the first place.

There is a perceptible change of mood in the attitude of the Brits. People are beginning to question the true ambitions of the European

Union. They are beginning to realise that the forming of a ‘super state’ with its own army controlling all of Europe, in much the same manner as another historical despot attempted in the not too distant past, is no longer quite so ludicrous.

Well, with Germany on the brink of recession, Italy and Greece just about ready to

abandon ship, and a whole host of countries who were initially bribed to join the coalition now finding the money drying up, the outlook for the Union’s ambitions are beginning to look just about as bleak as they did 70-odd years ago.

As for the scare tactics being deployed by the big companies, threatening to abandon the UK should it leave the EU, let them. Most of them are monopolies, firmly enmeshed in the highly lucrative and elite Euro club. A bunch of profit-mongers, heavily involved in the plot to inveigle the whole of Europe into their greedy money-grabbing empires.

The last thing they want is competition from the rest of the world. Have no doubt, the minute it is established we are truly dumping this whole bunch of self-satisfying greedy egomaniacs, huge worldwide conglomerates will be queuing up to create business with a highly successful European country which is unshackled from the yoke of the Brussels bureaucrats and able to negotiate on its own terms.

The future’s bright. The future’s Brexit.

Keep the faith, Love Leapy.

Leapy Lee’s opinions are his own and are not necessarily representative of those of the publishers, advertisers or sponsors.

CONSULAR MATTERS LET me start by saying that my friend Peter is quite theatrical in his approach to his legal affairs, so when he came to see me at my law firm to ask for advice on how to distribute his property after his death, he spoke to me in his serious voice.

With gestures worthy of a movie lover he told me: “You have to help me to fulfil my last Will.” Such a dramatic appeal can actually be solved by means of a Will. But beware; this is a case in which international laws come into play.

Indeed, Peter is a good example of the global world and the cosmopolitan society in which we are lucky to live. Although Peter is Danish by birth and nationality, he has been living in Spain for many years and how could it be otherwise, he has his family divided between Denmark and Spain and obviously worries that if something happened, his heirs could encounter problems regarding the distribution of their inheritance.

Indeed, the fact of granting a Will already guarantees that the assets of which he is the owner at the time of

And now... the last Will

REASSURANCE: Make sure your preferences are documented. his death, may be distributed according to his preferences, which is much better than leaving the law to distribute them according to the de-

fault legal position.

However, even if you set out your preferences in a Will, the law establishes rules which must be met under

penalty of invalidating that Will. But it is also in his case, and in the case of any foreigner residing in Spain, a matter complicated by the involvement of the laws of the different countries in which you have your property, family, and income.

The European Inheritance Regulations, which came into force some time ago, means any foreign residents in Spain will be subject to Spanish rules for the distribution of their assets after death unless they expressly state through a Will that the inheritance has to be ruled according to their ‘home country’s’ law.

And of course, Peter, as soon as I explain this possibility to him, with the same solemnity with which, as I have said, he deals with all his legal subjects, he confirms that he wants his personal law to be applicable, this is the Danish law.

However, this option may not be the most appropriate in Peter’s current circumstances so I have to remind him that he has to choose the law which better suits his needs as much as possible because there are many

personal, economic and family variables which should be taken into account before making a decision about it.

After weighing up all these variables, we finally agreed that I write a draft of his Will to be granted in front of a notarywhich protects the interests of his daughters and grandchildren in the face of possible claims from his current second wife from whom he is thinking of separating, as well as the possible conflicting claims from his son-in-laws.

At the present time his daughters enjoy good relations with their husbands but this might not be the case in the future.

Peter invited me to have a beer after the consultation and we went to the bar near to the office, and with a ‘tapa’ of good ‘jamon Iberico’ he told me with great aplomb and seriousness: “Now I’m calm and I can die knowing that everything is where I want it to be regarding my assets,” and this is why I said my friend Peter deserves to be cast in a dramatic role in a movie.

Moffat and Gatiss reveal when Dracula series starts fangs. With the project known to be in development for a couple of years now, it looks like the Dracula cameras are finally being readied for action.

Speaking at the Radio Times Covers Party recently, the writing pair were asked for an update on the situation, with Moffat noting: “We are shooting soon - but obviously, we’re n o t t e l l i n g y o u w h e n . Ve r y soon.” “We’re not telling you where or when,” added Gatiss. “ I t ’s t h e u s u a l g a m e . ” M e a n w h i l e , M o ff a t h a s p r e v i o u s l y admitted that the classic vampire story will be reinvented ‘in a Sherlock-y way, but not in exactly the same way.’

Richard Shanley T H E B B C ’s a d a p t a t i o n o f Dracula will commence shooting ‘very soon,’ according to the screenwriters Mark Gatiss and Steven Moffat.

The duo are bringing Bram Stoker ’s iconic blood-drinker to the small screen (which will be streamed via Netflix for everyone outside of the UK), having previously rehashed Sherlock Holmes into a show which catapulted leading man Benedict Cumberbatch towards stardom.

Dracula will see Danish actor Claes Bang slip under the cloak and brandish the

LAST week I wrote about self-improvement obsessions which gripped the UK in January like Veganuary, dry January and ‘clothes sobriety.’

January’s got a lot to answer for, hasn’t it?

With New Year’s resolutions already starting to founder, we’re then hit by Blue Monday, reckoned to be the most depressing day of the year, and it’s a long time ‘til spring! Well, to this list, add self-help books.

The annual chart for audio books recently issued by Audible (part of Amazon), shows that more than a quarter of the top 50 are self-help books, all but two of which are by men. Unlike e-books, bought most commonly by women, audio books are, apparently, the domain of young, urban men.

As a woman, I think men in general are in a particularly difficult period due to #MeToo and similar movements, and it’s great they’re seeking to better understand themselves, how to take control of their lives and be as happy and successful as possible. This is only good news for all of us; men and women.

Generally, though, isn’t the secret to life being happy with your lot? You don’t really need the latest kitchen/car/holiday/lifestyle. Just go for a walk with the dog, pop into your local

The January blues: over at last for another year

DRACULA: Moffat (left) and Gatiss have teamed up again.

LEGALLY SPEAKING

Can he get SIP card?

I confess that I am one of those UK false residents living mostly in Spain without any Spanish documentation at all, not even the European Union citizen residence paper. Now with Brexit coming up, I am concerned about health care. I live in the Valencian Region and people tell me I can apply for a SIP card to get health care here and that I only need a certificate of ‘empadronamiento’ in my town and my passport. Is this true?

R R (Costa Blanca)

SELF-HELP: Growing in popularity. pub/bar for a beer, and make the most of life.

Now January’s over, I challenge everyone to lose the blues and make a new start. But all is not lost! At least we’ve got David Cameron’s memoirs to look forward to; the ones he’s busy scribbling in his £25,000 ‘shepherd’s hut’ (and expected to net £1.5m), about how he authorised the referendum which has left the rest of us in such a mess. Politics is so depressing at the moment, a bit of a laugh is the least he owes us.

I wonder what he’s going to call his masterpiece? ‘I did it my way’? ‘Striking it rich’?

‘Nice work if you can get it’? Any ideas? Answers on a postage stamp, please. No, not a postcard; about time Dave was cut down to size...

Nora Johnson’s psychological crime thrillers ‘The Girl in the Woods,’ ‘The Girl in the Red Dress,’ ‘No Way Back,’ ‘Landscape of Lies,’ ‘Retribution,’ ‘Soul Stealer,’ ‘The De Clerambault Code’ (www.nora-johnson.net) available from Amazon in paperback/eBook (€0.99; £0.99) and iBookstore.

In principle this i s correct . You David Searl may need t o You and the Law show that you have lived in Spain in the Valencian Region for one year. The SIP stands for Sistema de Información Poblacional, the System of Information regarding the Population. Every resident of the Valencian Region is supposed to have one, which enables the authorities to plan their services. Even a newborn baby gets a SIP. Basically, it is a census. The SIP is now being changed to a new model card and called a TSI-SIP or a Tarjeta Sanitaria Individual. Let us know how you get on.

Marbella Moments

7 - 13 February 2019

Not just another Dizzy blonde

by Nicole King SEVENTEEN years ago, at the tender age of 70, Dizzy Bishop joined a sculpture class. She didn’t want to be bored in ‘retirement.’

Now, at the hearty age of 87, she says there are not enough hours in the day! I visited Dizzy at her home to see her sculptures and I was instantly fascinated and charmed and not just by her work; what a woman! From the moment we sat down I felt like I was in the presence of one of Hollywood’s silverscreen legends; such elegance, such poise and such character!

Originally from London, Dizzy is the eldest of five children. She thinks back to her younger days and recalls herself as a noisy, voluble and very happy child. She hasn’t changed much.

She joyously recounted how she met the love of her life and how he proposed to her just eight days later.

They’ve now been married for 65 years this year, with children coming up to retirement age. She laughs to herself at that; who wouldn’t!?

TECH FOR THE TIMID FROM software to malware to adware to freeware; it’s wearing keeping up with the wares in the techno world.

Hardware used to be the DIY tools everyone but me could use with ease.

Now it’s the lumps of plastic and metal the average westerner spends 5.9 hours a day using with digital media.

We all know it’s software which makes the hardware work. But ‘all the wares’ in today’s IT slang can denote anything ranging from shareware (from developers hoping to shame you into paying) to vapourware (announced prematurely as The Next Big Thing but still just a twinkle on a developer’s screen).

There’s malware which can do terrible things to your computer and your bank balance if you pay the ransom, to freeware which is exactly what it says on the tin, to the dubiously-named crapware: all that rubbish software pre-loaded on your new computer and which you will never, ever use, what were they thinking?

Adware lets you use the program

CHARMING AND FASCINATING: At 87 years old, Dizzy keeps busy with her love for sculpture.

One would think that 10 grandchildren and a very close family would be enough to keep her busy; communicating with them daily at least by email every night, but that’s not the half of it!

When she realised she was going to be living in Marbella, she fancied doing something new and she chose sculpture. She enrolled in a class and faced her first lump of clay. No

guidance was given as to what to make, but the minute she touched the clay she was in love again and another solid relationship was born.

After nearly two decades, many of her works adorn the home, mostly dancers and ballerinas, another of Dizzy’s passions and areas of prowess. She started ballet at the age of three and still has a ballet bar on the balcony for her exercise rou-

tines to date! A hoola hoop is also good for the waistline she adds…

This woman is always on the go.

Dizzy gets up around 6.30am and for the past eight years, visits Aspandem on a Monday to assist with the children, whether it be to help them eat or to take them for walks in their chairs which she says they find so rewarding; as does Dizzy.

Twice a week on Tuesdays and

The way we ware So many wares, so little time, laments Terence Kennedy

HUMANWARE MEETS SOFTWARE: Accept or abort? or app in return (they hope) for glancing occasionally at the pop-up ads littering the interface.

Groupware is software which lets you share stuff, from documents to collaborative materials. Spyware lurks on your phone or computer and ‘phones home’ your habits to the bad guys, somewhere.

Courseware is that wonderful edu-

cational stuff we used to have to stay awake through the night to watch on Open University, but which can now teach us things at a time and place of our choosing.

At its best (as in a MOOC, or a Massive Open Online Course), courseware lets us learn things we could never have dreamed of studying pre-internet. At worst its origina-

tors will take your money, teach you next to nothing and then send you a diploma from the University of Bombay Railway Station.

Firmware is what drives your hardware, and feeware is a geeky term for commercial software. For junkware see bloatware see crapware, while fatware is bigger than it needs to be.

And for Turing’s sake is there no way to turn off those constant ‘upgrade now!’ pop-ups in nagware?

Pushware turns up on your device when you wanted to download something else. Obnoxiousware is just getting silly now. Scumware definitely doesn’t remove stains from the bath.

Nor does spamware promote processed meat.

Ultimately the most dangerous ware of all is humanware (yes it really is a term). Powered by wetware (the brain and nervous system), it’s also known disparagingly as liveware or warmware or even just meatware.

Though where does that leave a vegetarian programmer?

Thursdays she disappears for her two-and-a-half hours of sculpture class. She couldn’t say how long each piece takes to make, as when she’s creating she’s so in the moment, time just isn’t an issue!

Husband Morris does all the engineering for her creations, which are often quite ‘acrobatic’ plus they both belong to the Telegraph puzzle club and do really hard crosswords together every day. They are both so physically, mentally and emotionally ‘together’ that it puts us ‘mere mortals’ to shame!

Dizzy also makes decorated eggs, which she lines with silks and embellishes with Swarovski crystals, her great-great-grandmother’s pearls and delicate flowers, which take about two-and-a-half hours each to create; petal by petal, leaf by leaf.

Dizzy has sold over 160 of these, which have now travelled all over the world, so I think it’s safe to say, on no level is this lady bored with retirement nor just another dizzy blonde! @marbellanow.

Good wares, bad warez CHANGE just one innocent letter in all the wares and it becomes a far darker affair entirely.

‘Warez’ covers the vast slew of copyrighted digital content copied and/or distributed illegally. Pirate a paid office suite, a movie or an MP3 and you’ve joined the renegade warez community.

Warez are downloaded at your peril, perhaps freighted with hidden, malicious coding which can wreak havoc on your device.

The most-pirated software on warez sites these days is Windows in its various flavours, Microsoft Office, Adobe Photoshop and with no sense of irony at all, antivirus programs.

But as the warez industry gets squeezed, the good news is ‘only’ 37 per cent of the software installed on our computers worldwide is now illegal.

Guilty as charged m’lud?

DID YOU KNOW?

AQUARIUS (January 21 - February 19) A meeting midweek could mean a change to your finances for the better. In the short term, it may be necessary for you to rearrange money and appointments but try not to be too put out. Change is perhaps something that we become less tolerant of after a situation has gone on for a time. In this case, however, the basic problem is still there. Instead of worrying, do your best and then get on with something else.

There is so much that has come to light in the past few weeks. It is no wonder that your mind is reeling. All will become clear in the weeks ahead and this cannot be rushed.

However, there is a need to look after your health and get out in the fresh air. Any thought of joining a walking club or health group should be pursued. It will also serve as light relief and take your mind from less happy notions.

ARIES (March 21 - April 20) A pleasant surprise makes you a little more optimistic midweek. It is possible for you to take on negativity too quickly. The next time something does not go according to plan, hold fire. It is amazing what a little time and distance will solve.

Because you are in a practical frame of mind, use this to make a check on everyday routines. More could be achieved with forward planning.

THE infamous line from Jaws ‘You’re gonna need a bigger boat,’ was not in the actual script.

Actor Roy Scheider reportedly said it throughout the filming, joking about the small boat the producers had selected to hold the filming equipment, and it ended up in the final cut.

Time means a lot to me because, you see, I, too, am also a learner and am often lost in the joy of forever developing and simplifying. If you love life, don’t waste time, for time is what life is made up of.”

Finances are still firmly on the agenda, but this time you will be able to deal on a more relaxed basis. A contact made recently gives you the opportunity not only to make some money but also to enlarge your circle of friends.

Make a point of putting on a happy face and your mood will stay high.

There is still some more to be done to improve your social life and a recent offer of charity work may be just the thing. Avoid restricting the sort of folk who you are willing to mix with. Cultural differences apart, it is quite an eye-opener to find out how others live and think. Never assume that you know everything, there is so much out there to explore.

CANCER (June 22 - July 23)

Being considerably more relaxed about those things which cannot be changed has taken a weight from your shoulders. It is also easier to understand why others have taken this approach in the past. There is, however, a balance to be found.

Don't be put off by people who have

become sloppy in their approach because this is not going to affect you.

LEO (July 24 - August 23) Are you still patting yourself on the back for that recent achievement?

Socially, this is a lovely week when old friendships are strengthened and new acquaintances prove to be relaxing. It is another mellow week but one in which you seriously consider making a major change.

VIRGO (August 24 - September 23) Be your charming self this week without pushing too much. A natural approach when you are seeking a response is the best course of action. Simply being in the right place and under someone's gaze is all that is required. Are you getting itchy because an offer is not forthcoming? Well, if you absolutely must, then get a little bird to whisper in their ear.

LIBRA (September 24 - October 23) It is clear that you really love your hearth and home but, every now and again, there is a small voice calling. The good things in life appeal and, to have these, an effort is involved. Do not underestimate the amount of pleasure that you will enjoy when putting in that extra effort. It does, after all, involve other people. Some of those people prove to be quite fascinating.

SCORPIO (October 24 - November 22) Having put in extra effort to bring a zing to this year it is important that you keep the impetus going. This is not only good for your health and wealth, but also your mind. Although trying something new brings a few odd remarks your way, try not to be sidetracked. Bringing together various friends and family proves fun and really bolsters your mood.

SAGITTARIUS (November 23 - December 21) There is still a strong accent on family matters and getting things sorted out. The way ahead is clear.

If you are able to persuade someone that an idea was theirs and not yours, so much the better.

Being in a practical mood serves you well because it is possible to get a lot done in the next few days. The weekend, however, is another matter. It seems you are much in demand and jobs you thought would be done and dusted just aren't.

CAPRICORN (December 22 - January 20) Your mind is still sharp this week and there are many questions that you would like answered. Doing a bit of research proves fruitful and also quite amusing. A recent contact may not come up with the proposition hoped for, but realise that it is still early days.

Sometimes, you feel that being far from perfect spoils your chances.

We can all do with improvement.

Ask your long-term friends what they like most about you and strengthen that area.

BIRTHDAYS

VIVIDLY rendered and inspired by true events, New York Times bestselling author Pam Jenoff shines a light on the incredible heroics of the brave women of the war and weaves a mesmerising tale of courage, sisterhood and the great strength of women to survive in the hardest of circumstances.

Set in Manhattan in 1946, The Lost Girls of Paris tells the story of Grace Healey who finds an abandoned suitcase full of photographs, each of a different woman. She soon learns the case belongs to the leader of a network of female secret agents who were deployed out of London during the war.

Setting out to learn the truth behind the women in the pictures, Grace finds herself drawn to a young mother turned agent named Marie, whose daring mission overseas reveals a remarkable story of friendship, valour and betrayal.

Laptop vs tablet: Which is right for you?

WHEN it comes to buying a new portable computer, these days you’re no longer limited to the laptop option.

Tablets are a viable alternative for many people looking to get things done on-the-go.

Portability There’s no question that tablets offer the best option.

In general, tablets are seven to 11 inches, while laptops are 12 to 16 inches, which immediately means the former are going to be easier to carry around.

If you’re going for a larger tablet you might want to consider whether getting a small laptop is going to work out better for you.

Performance This is fairly simple. Laptops are going to provide advanced performance in comparison to tablets, simply due to the fact that their larger cases can pack in more hardware.

Laptops will always have better specs than tablets. That doesn’t mean tablets will run slowly or won’t offer a smooth user experience, it simply means laptops are equipped for more intense tasks.

Battery Due to their smaller size, tablets will always have a better battery life than laptops. It’s simply a matter of not having to power as much hardware, or as big a screen, which allows the smaller devices to maintain more charge than a laptop. Still, more expensive laptops can last longer.

Software Tablets are centred on apps while laptops offer a more versatile desktop experience. If you want to use indepth programmes such as Photoshop or anything which demands more than tapping a screen can accommodate,

then a laptop is your best bet.

In terms of gaming, if you’re looking for something capable of running somewhat demanding games, a laptop is the only choice.

Storage You’re going to get more internal memory with a laptop, so if you’re going to be working with multiple files which you need to keep on your machine, laptops offer the best solution.

Which should I buy?

It all comes down to what you want to use it for. It also depends on which tablet you’re thinking about buying. However, then the question becomes, if a tablet is trying to be a laptop, why not just buy a laptop?

Computer City have a large range of tablets and laptops for you to choose from. Contact Marcus on 616 160 474 for more information.

The great Trump mystery Mike Senker In my opinion Views of a Grumpy Old Man ROGER J STONE JR, a long-time adviser to Teflon Don is yet another Trump adviser/official to be charged in the special counsel investigation.

Robert S Mueller III, who is investigating possible links between the Trump campaign and Russian officials, has issued more than 100 criminal counts against at least 28 people and three companies. Of that number, at least 10 have been found guilty and are in prison.

We aren’t talking about low-profile people either; his lawyers and top advisors are included in that number. About 26 members of his staff have been fired; a number no other President has achieved.

The man tweets so many lies, it is impossible to count. So my question is, what am I missing? How is this man still president?

He has caved in on shutting down all the government workers.

He will never get the money for the wall, yet he’s still there. He’s a racist, homophobic, misogynist yet he’s still there rambling

day in day out on Twitter calling people names like a kid in a school playground.

What does he have to do to be kicked out? He is a snake, oil-salesman and a liar with zero empathy for anyone. He even treats his wife like some menial staff member, not even sharing an umbrella with her.

He has to go down in history as the worst US president ever. Astonishing!

Who do British politicians think they are fooling when walking round a hospital or a school? Does Matt Hancock really think that we believe because he has his jacket off, his sleeves rolled up and his tie tucked in that he has been there cleaning the loos or doing some kind of manual labour?

We know their PR advisors are telling them to do it. Why are we treated like idiots?

I saw it on the news the other day and there they were, walking around like they had turned up to do a shift when we all know, all they do is pay lip-service to the major problems the UK has with the NHS and schools.

If you are going to be filmed walking around, it’s fine with me if you have your jacket on, mate; I know you are doing sweet FA about anything. Jacket off will not fool me or anybody else.

The cost of Brexit?

I WAS wondering how much more UK consumers will pay for their food and drinks should there be a no-deal Brexit, Since the UK imports 30 per cent of its food, tariffs could have a meaningful impact on UK household budgets.

We ran back-of-the-envelope calculations to estimate WTO tariffs on average UK food and drink spending and found: For each household, a year ’s worth of food and drink tariffs could be equivalent to the cost of two weeks’ worth of food and drink spending.

The average UK household (according to Office of National Statistics Family Spending data) could pay an additional £132 for the weekly shop and £78 for takeaways/restaurants each year, or £210 overall.

For each £50 of weekly food and drink spending today, a household should budget an extra £1.92 per week or £100 per year.

EY

It’s never too late…

I REFER to the recent correspondence from Joan Butler (Issue 1751) in which she laments the fact that letters and Christmas cards posted at the beginning of December only arrived in Spain at the end of January.

I experienced this ‘phenomenon’ several years ago and after some investigation discovered that there is a very simple, but rather surprising explanation.

Having witnessed letters posted in the national post box being mixed together in a supermarket trolley with those in the international box I also discovered the reason for the delay to the Christmas post.

Those letters and cards arriving early in Spain are placed at the bottom of a trunk and those arriving later are placed on top.

When it comes to delivering the mail those on top are removed first and as a result those arriving first are the last to be distributed.

You may remember the slogan many years ago Post early for Christmas however if your letters and cards are destined for Spain it is preferable to post late for Christmas!

Peter Sanderson

OPINION & COMMENT

OUR VIEW

Poverty risk THE number of Spanish households where children live with unemployed parents has almost doubled since the last recession began, showing little has been done to mend damage the crisis caused.

Figures from Spain’s Labour Force Survey revealed there are now 139,000 households with jobless parents and that about one in three Spanish children are at risk of poverty. Spain was third only to Romania and Bulgaria for the amount of children facing hardship.

The figures expose the hollowness of assurances that the economy has bounced back.

Many in Spain and across Europe remain unemployed or severely underemployed. Those fortunate enough to have jobs increasingly work on zero-hour contracts and within the rising ‘gig’ economy. Oxfam data shows the poorest 50 per cent of Spanish people have seen their incomes fall by 4 per cent since the onset of the last recession in 2008.

Meanwhile, the wealth of the richest 1 per cent has grown by 7 per cent. These figures show a tiny number of wealthy people continue to grow rich in a ‘recovery’ where half the population increasingly struggles to provide for itself. It is in reality a recovery enjoyed exclusively by a tiny segment of the population.

Children are now paying for faults of an economic system that caused the last crisis with what should be some of the happiest years of their lives. Many were not even alive when the recession began.

Now we want to hear your views.

Uber and Cabify to stop operating in Barcelona after law changes To pass a law to protect the taxi associations in Cataluña against independent companies like UberX is like using a sledge hammer to drive in a pin: over the top and completely counter productive.

COMMENTS FROM EWN ONLINE companies and Britain in general will be catastrophic,the poor fools who were lied to big-time by Johnson and Farage will regret their decision for the rest of their lives, we who are living in the EU have to try and carry on with our lives, but what is in store for us is not revealed yet, a lot of us, me included, have to take medication every day, which at the moment is paid for by Britain, but when Britain is out of the EU we may have to pay directly for this medication which is vital for our health, but do the Brexiteers care?All they say is, we did not ask you to leave, so we are now reliant on our adopted country France to have compassion, which is not forthcoming from Britain!!!!

Theresa May said calling Gibraltar a colony was unacceptable Gibraltar has been a British military outpost, and therefore a symbol of British colonial military power, ever since it was taken from Spain in the first place. Of course it’s a colony! It’s the ideal location for British military control of the western doorway to the Mediterranean and onward access to southern Europe, North Africa and the Middle East. (The eastern doorway being the Suez canal.) I’m old enough to remember Britain fighting (and losing) a battle over Suez. That’s why Gibraltar is such an important military colony for Britain. So if Theresa May is now so twitchy that she says calling a colony

‘a colony’ is ‘completely unacceptable’ then heaven help us all! This is proof, if ever it was needed, that the Brexit lunatics really have taken over the asylum!

The three S’s of a ‘happy’ knee: • Straight • Strong • (no) Swelling Working to achieve these before and after surgery (ahem or instead of??) will mean you get the best results.

If your knee treatment plan doesn’t include these, it’s a glorious waste of time. Whoever you’re working with.

Before surgery Most of us are aware of the need for rehab after surgery. But there is increasing research to suggest that to get the best results you need to do some

work before surgery too.

One of the doctors I have worked with is Dr Donald K Shelbourne, an American surgeon who pioneered the ACL reconstructive techniques. He also developed the Accelerated ACL Reconstruction Rehabilitation Protocol.

Using this Protocol his patients returned to full, daily activities at four weeks after surgery! Back to sport at eight weeks after surgery! In comparison, normal ACL recovery talks in terms of months, and return to sport is just one in three patients after two years!

What makes his process so different? Before surgery, the three S’s must be met, and you work with a physio to achieve that before your surgery is booked.

After surgery If you’ve already had surgery, the three S’s become even more impor-

tant. In fact, they are the entire focus of your recovery.

This work needs to start the first day after your surgery. The longer you wait, the more the muscles waste and the harder it is to get right. So start your exercises straight away and do them every day.

Crutches are very important. Yes, they’re annoying and tricky to get the hang of, but using them properly (and probably for longer than you think you need to!) will prevent back pain, reduce swelling and get you back sooner. But make sure you get them fitted properly and learn how to walk with them on the flat and stairs.

Ice, rest and physio are critical for bringing the swelling down.

Why is straight important?

If you aren’t straightening your leg correctly you aren’t using your foot, ankle, knee or hip correctly. You have

a limp and this can cause back pain as well. If you’ve got lower back pain which isn’t responding to treatment, it might be your knee which is causing the problem!

Feeling cheeky THE cold, wet months of winter can leave our skin feeling less than peachy, but help could be at hand in the form of a growing new trend; the cream blusher.

While these products have

been around for a while, the emerging fashion for glowing, natural-looking skin has seen cream alternatives to traditional powder blushers really take off.

To take advantage of the benefits which include boosted hydration and radiance, check out the new Milk Makeup’s Lip + Cheek (£20.50/€25.76 for 28g, available from www.cultbeauty.co.uk).

Available in five shades, this twist-up stick promises ‘a soft, dewy flush’ and contains a host of skin-protecting ingredients, including plant oil and zinc oxide, a natural sunscreen.

Kate Broadhead Health and Lifestyle coach SO I did it - a half-marathon - 20 kilometres of hills, freezing temperatures, snow, ice and treacherous conditions.

What did I need at the finish line?

Carbs. Lots of them!

At the finish line luckily for me there were home-made pies and cakes - if you can’t eat them after doing the distance then there’s no hope!

It was great to see at stations throughout the marathon that the right foods were provided; bananas, blueberries, and slices of orange. Great fuel to keep everyone going!

Recovery is a crucial part of exercise and nutrition, and is so important to help your body recover and repair especially when you put it through something intensive and gruelling.

Protein is key to repair those muscles and carbs are being eaten up at a rate of knots as soon as they are digested!

That doesn’t mean fat takes a back seat - it still has a part to play, but choose good fats like nuts, oily fish, olive oil, avocado and cheese.

The main downfall of anyone who undertakes exercise in general is not eating enough calories to keep their body going

The road to recovery

FUEL: After a gruelling workout, feed your body what it deserves! and burning unwanted fat.

The ‘1200 calorie’ average which is a default for many, is wrong for many reasons as your calorie intake should be based on your specific weight, height and age and there is no way a 1,200 calorie diet can be used as a ‘one size fits all.’

If any exercise is undertaken, that needs to be taken into account too. Your body cannot run on empty!

Following a long run or cycle where you may burn in excess of 1,000 calories, a banana and peanut butter smoothie is a fantastic post-exercise snack and will keep those energy levels up.

CELEBRITIES

THE rumours are hot that hunky Spanish dancer Gorka Marquez and English rose Gemma Atkinson could officially become engaged on Valentine’s night - especially after the news she is pregnant. The couple have become a firm favourite with celeb magazines ever since they captured viewers’ - and each others’- hearts on BBC’s Strictly Come Dancing. Dashing Gorka, from Bilbao, and gorgeous actress and former glamour model Gemma from Bury have been inseparable ever since. Fans had high hopes of a Christmas engagement announcement, but were M sadly disappointed.

RA AG However, Gemma, 34, has since it INST d Cre dropped strong hints that she and 28-year-old Gorka could soon be walking down the aisle. And this has only been reinforced after they posted a picture on Instagram to disclose they are expecting their first child.

So the strong possibility according to gossip columns is that a Valentine’s Day engagement could be on the cards - with the big question being which one will pluck up the NUPTIALS: Will they or won’t they? courage to pop the question?

Looking for new romance TWO people who will be looking for new romance this Valentine’s Day are Love Island’s Kaz Crossley and Josh Denzel.

The now ex-couple met on the set of the reality show set in Mallorca and became one of the most celebrated couplings to come out of the series.

But despite a recent ‘romantic’ break in Jamaica - reputedly a contractual promotional obligation - the duo have just announced their split.

Make-up artist Kaz, 25 took to her Instagram account - where else - to inform the world of her split from sports presenter Josh, 27.

St Valentine an early martyr NEXT Thursday (February 14) will see people all over the world spending money on cards, presents and meals in honour of St Valentine without perhaps knowing anything about the Saint.

There are various legends about who was the real Valentine, but generally speaking, the Catholic Church recognises only one Valentinus, a Bishop who was martyred in the third century AD by the second Roman Emperor to be called Claudius.

Christianity was still a persecuted religion at that time although it was to become widely accepted at the beginning of the next century with the rise of the Emperor Constantine.

It is generally accepted that Valentine was a bishop in the early Christian Church who defied a law by Claudius which denied the right of marriage to young people as it was believed that single men were more likely to lay down their lives for Rome than married men.

Initially arrested by a Judge Asterius in the province of

ST VALENTINE: Statue to the saint of lovers in Terni, Italy.

Umbria in the centre of Italy, he performed a miracle by curing the judge’s daughter of blindness which led to his release as well as all other Christians who had been arrested by the judge.

Later, he was taken to Rome and Emperor Claudius called on him to reject Christ or be executed and on February 14, 269

AD he was martyred in Rome where it is believed that his remains are still kept.

A story exists that prior to his execution, he wrote to the judge’s daughter and signed it ‘from your Valentine’ and when February 14 was designated his special day in 496 AD, the belief that he should be considered the patron saint

of lovers became popular throughout the Western branch of Christianity.

Interestingly, there is no record of there being a single St Valentine’s church in the UK, although there are plenty throughout Europe and his fame continues (at least in commercial terms) after some 1,750 years.

The magic of Valentine’s Day IT’S not too late to make a booking at one of the many great restaurants along the coast for you and your loved one to celebrate St Valentine’s Day. Many of these restaurants are now spreading the event so that you can either celebrate next Thursday February 14 or if you want to have time to unwind the following day, there are also special Valentine’s menus on Saturday February 16.

For restaurants it’s a bit of a difficult choice as so many people want tables for two rather than to share with friends or even strangers, so by offering two days, everyone should be easily accommodated.

There will be a lot of red roses purchased, perfume, romantic CDs, a last minute flurry of cards and other gifts perhaps best left to the imagination.

Next year will be a Leap Year when tradition suggests that ladies may on February 29, propose to their partners, rather than the other way round and if you are looking for a truly romantic option, next year then

Having moved from the UK just a few years ago with his partner Michele (now his wife following a delightful ceremony in Mijas) he originally expected to retire and perhaps return to writing cook books but the need to be back in the kitchen proved too great and the couple opened The Little Geranium, a bijoux restaurant with bar behind the town hall in La Cala de Mijas.

This week Celebrity Chef from Ready Steady Cook & Fellow Master Chef Steven Saunders, proprietor of The Little Geranium in La Cala is on the island of St Lucia at Marigot Bay cooking Creole food.

King Creole!

Steven Saunders FMCGB The Little Geranium La Cala de Mijas & Marbella www.thelittlegeranium.com WELL someone has to do it! By that I mean that I am delighted to be sat here overlooking the marina of Marigot Bay cooking and eating Creole cuisine, which is the traditional food in St Lucia.

We have closed The Little Geranium for the week to see an old friend who is a chef on this beautiful island and experience some of his special cuisine.

Creole cuisine is a style of cooking originating in Louisiana, United States, which blends French, Spanish, West African, Haitian and German influences as well as influences from the general cuisine of southern America.

The best known dishes from this

beautiful island are green fig and salt fish, accra (crispy fried fish cakes), fried plantain chips, Callaloo soup (like spinach), pepperpots (spicy meat stews) and breadfruit which is like a starchy potato.

But don’t forget about the local rum which is aromatic and sensational. I have a bottle of Spiced Chairman’s reserve rum on the table right now and a glass in my hand! Don’t be surprised when ordering green fig and salt fish (the national dish) to see green bananas or plantain. Figs is just the name that they call the plantains.

It is thought that Columbus may have discovered St Lucia as he sailed through the Caribbean seas in 1502. In the 17th century the island moved to and fro between English occupancy (who wanted it for the sugar cane) and the French so many times that I lost count.

The Caribs (settlers) hung on and fought fiercely, but the French and Brits returned again and again interested in their sugar and slavery.

In the 19th century it was restored

OLD FRIENDS: Chef Billy Boyce with Steven Saunders. to French control and Napoleon reinstated slavery. In 1967 the Brits helped

St Lucia form a government and it became an associated state of the UK,

eventually handed back on February 22, 1979 when St Lucia achieved full independence.

I was invited to enjoy the Independence Day street parties but unfortunately I have to get home to my restaurant.

But I am here to cook and sample some of their national dishes on the build up to their Independence Day. Some of the national dishes like the salt fish have been handed down from the slavery days when bananas were over plentiful. Bananas exceeded sugar as their major export by the 20th century. You can see banana plantations all over the island, with the UK being their largest importer of bananas.

The first night we arrived chef Billy Boyle cooked us up a fabulous arrival BBQ with slow roasted suckling pig, jerk chicken, crispy fish cakes (accra) and coconut and pumpkin rice with a variety of salads, passion fruit dressing and various salsas.

It was all accompanied by traditional local dancers and fire eaters!

Chef Billy’s Jerk Chicken

BILLY BOYLE shared some of his family recipes with me and his jerk chicken recipe is fantastic and something totally different as it has so many spices. It’s great for the BBQ and easy to do.

See you next week for some totally unique Valentine’s ideas, allowing that romantic part of you to escape!

(from Marigot Bay, St Lucia)

Ingredients (serves 4) 1 whole free range (campo) chicken 2 flat tablespoons all spice 1 flat tablespoon freshly ground nutmeg 1 flat tablespoon ground cinnamon 1/2 tablespoon chilli powder 1 flat tablespoon ground ginger 1/2 tablespoon ground cloves 1/2 tablespoon celery salt 1 tablespoon garlic powder 1 tablespoon smoked paprika 1 tablespoon dried thyme 1 tablespoon Maldon salt

JERK CHICKEN DELICIOUS: Jerk chicken is fantastically spicy.

1 tablespoon ground black pepper 2 jalapeno peppers, seeds removed and roughly chopped 2 garlic cloves 2 tablespoons brown sugar 1 tablespoon Tabasco sauce 2 tablespoons tomato ketchup Juice of 1 orange Juice of 2 limes A little olive oil

Method In a blender, place all the ingredients above and puree on high until smooth.

Put the chicken in a large plastic freezer bag and pour the marinade into the bag.

Close the bag tightly and press with your hand until the chicken is evenly coated with the marinade. Place in the refrigerator and marinate for a minimum of three hours or overnight.

Before cooking, remove the chicken from the refrigerator and allow to come to room temperature.

Remove chicken and roast it in a pre heated oven at 180ºC for 30-40 mins Light the barbecue and let the coals burn down to a medium-high heat.

Remove the chicken from the

oven and place on the BBQ. Cook the chicken without turning too much so that it crisps and looks dark and crispy for about 30 minutes.

Try and maintain a consistent temperature to cook the chicken through without burning.

The key is to cook the chicken just until the thickest part, usually the thigh, is done. To check it is cooked insert your thermometer into the thickest part of the thigh, it should read 75ºC. Cut the cooked chicken into quarters and serve with the tropical salsa along with rice.

Creole salsa 1 ripe papaya, with seeds removed and diced small 1 ripe mango, diced small 3 slices of fresh pineapple diced small

½ finely diced cucumber 1 finely diced red onion 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro/coriander 2 jalapenos, seeds removed and finely diced 4 tablespoons fresh-squeezed lime juice 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil Maldon salt and freshly ground black pepper In a large mixing bowl, combine all the ingredients and season to taste with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Stir together, cover and place in the refrigerator for at least three hours. Serve with some black beans and rice (beans and grits) on the side.

We are back open on February 12!

Valentine’s Day and more at La Sala AS would be expected, La Sala Banus is pushing the boat out next Thursday to celebrate St Valentine’s Day. There is a special threecourse meal on offer in the Live Lounge with a choice which is ideal for meat eaters, pescatarians and vegetarians with romantic music in the shape of From Motown with Love, featuring the Cool Fire Band.

On a special night like this, bookings will be required and you can catch details of the full menu by visiting www.lasala banus.com.

There is always music at La Sala but the restaurant is determined to expand its appeal and involvement in the community and on Monday February 25 will be offering a unique Supper Theatre Performance also in the Live Lounge.

The evening will start at 7pm and is priced at just €35 per person which includes a welcome glass of cava, sharing platter, main course and half a bottle of wine and water per person as well as a performance of 84 Charing Cross Road presented by Curtain Up Production featuring local actors Margaret and David Dunckley and June and Miles Rendle.

This is an exceptional play about struggling New York writer Helene Hanff who started a series of exchanges with Frank Doel the manager of Marks & Co, antiquarian booksellers located at 84 Charing Cross Road in London.

The book and play were later turned into a highly successful film starring Anthony Hopkins and the late Anne Bancroft and the amusing and

sometimes poignant presentation compares the very forthright and witty Helene with the initially formal and restrained Frank who eventually opens up and over a period of 20 years, their friendship becomes a delight to both, although sadly he died before she visited the UK. The story mirrors the social changes that occurred during the time, in 1949 British food was still rationed, and foreign travel was very limited. It is a play full of enchantment and charm, funny, poignant, warm, and compassionate.

Places to this event are limited and early booking is recommended so reserve your place for this charming evening by contacting La Sala Puerto Banus on 952 814 145 or via email: reservations@LaSala Banus.com.

Sounds of Smokie OLDER readers will remember one of the great ‘soft rock’ bands of the 70’s, Smokie who had a number of hit singles and albums.

Perhaps their most successful and memorable song was Living next door to Alice although they had a large repertoire of memorable songs which will be performed by The Sounds of Smokie across the Costa del Sol during February.

Currently a duo consisting of Bernie Lowery and Martin Bland (longest serving bass player for the Animals and regular visitor to Andalucia) they will perform a mixture of Smokie and Animals’ numbers with their first appearance at La Sala Banus next on Tuesday.

Visiting times are from 13.00 to 15.00 and you can always turn up or make an appointment by calling Denise on 669 018 736.

For our riding for the disabled classes, we are also in need of extra helpers. We are nationally registered by the Spanish Ministry of the Interior (164640) but only with your support can we give the equine a voice. If you can just commit to 2 or 3 euros a month it will really help make a difference. You can find us at Lauro Golf Equestrian Centre, Alqueria, Alhaurin de la Torre. Tel. 608 258 950 info@sepeonline.net www.sepeonline.net (93321) AT SOS ANIMAL REFUGE we have dogs, young and old looking for homes. Some of our dogs have been with us for some time and would love to find a cosy spot to curl up in and a knee on which to rest their heads. If you have room in your heart and home we would love to hear from you. We do not put our dogs to sleep - no matter how old, they are safe with us. For day to day needs and to pay for veterinary care, we much appreciate the support we receive. We desperately need items to sell on our market stall to help raise funds and are happy to come and collect. So if you are having a clear-out, please contact us on 605 227 155. If you would like to know more about re-homing, please call 653 257 875.

In 1900, 38 per cent of cars were electric, 40 per cent were steam, and 22 per cent were internal combustion.

Get beach ready ORIGINAL: An example of a Dune Buggy.

Credit: VW Newsroom

THE concept of a beach buggy really took hold in the California of the 1960’s. The most popular vehicle to be converted into a fun, duneriding car was the Volkswagen Beetle, with its chassis being used as the base for tens of thousands of examples.

Now the Wolfsburg-based car manufacturer is bringing the legend back to life with a modern, clean version of the classic buggy.

At the beginning of March, Volkswagen will reveal the first fully electric version of a new buggy.

Taking its cues from popular American dune buggies, the concept vehicle is based on the modular electric drive matrix (MEB), which according to head designer

TEASER: VW has released early images of the new concept.

Klaus Bischoff demonstrates how multifaceted the new platform is.

He said: “A buggy is more than a car. It is vibrancy and energy on four wheels.

These attributes are embod-

ied by the new e-buggy, which demonstrates how a modern, non-retro interpretation of a classic can look, and more than anything else, the emotional bond which electric mobility can create.”

True to the original style, this reinter-

pretation of a proper buggy has no fixed roof or conventional doors, while the freestanding wheels fitted with off-road tyres and open side sills dominate the overall look.

The new MEB concept vehicle shows this fully electric platform can be used for more than just large-scale series production models. Like the Beetle chassis of yesteryear, the modular electric drive matrix has the potential to allow the development of lowvolume niche series.

The history of recreational vehicles and Volkswagen technology is a long one.

From the Beetle convertible and special bodies produced by companies such as Hebmüller and Rometsch, to fully open designs of the kind embraced by the Meyers Manx buggy, the Beetle chassis allowed for creative - and sometimes exclusive custom solutions for decades.

Globally, around 250,000 individual vehicles were built as one-offs or at low volumes through to the 1980’s.

The latest one-of-a-kind model, the fully electric concept buggy, will be revealed for the first time at the 89th International Geneva Motor Show from March 7 - 17.

It’s classic show time!

I

T’S usually during the winter months that classic car activity, in terms of usage, tends to decline. Certainly in most parts of Europe anyway.

We are so lucky living here in sunny Spain that we can continue running events and enjoying our gorgeous classics all year round. In fact, it’s actually quite rare that any of our events are spoilt by rain or bad weather. Certainly these events are never cancelled!

But, for those that live in the rest of colder, northern Europe, the winter brings on many, many classic car shows and exhibitions to keep that enthusiasm going. It’s also often a time for ‘fettling’ and repairing classics and many shows have ‘Auto jumble’ type stands where that elusive ‘sodium filled delirium’ valve may be found!

Just last week we had the Retro-Malaga show at the Palacio de Ferias on the outskirts of the city. Run over three days it was a great opportunity to see classics close up, and another chance to find those rare bits that always seem to go missing just when they are most needed!

It’s also a great social centre where enthusiasts can meet up with like-minded pals and discuss the latest restoration project or even buy a classic from the many on display.

At Retro-Malaga they even have stands and displays devoted to vintage and classic motor-cycles and scooters giving some visitors a chance to revisit their youth….

One-car makes occupied many stands for such things as the Mercedes SL, the Seat owners’ club, Porsche 911s, Ferrari owners and many more.

Private individuals could park their cars in the show itself and for a small fee they could put ‘For Sale or Se Vende’ signs up with a price and hope to snare a willing purchasing victim!

Outside the show halls was a pre-1989 car park. Owners of qualifying vehicles could all

park together, free of charge, and then get a discount on their ticket price. In fact, these car parks are often more interesting than the show itself with such an array of classics that are regularly used and driven by their enthusiastic owners.

Marvellous!

Retro-Mobile in Paris is one of the best shows of the year and takes place in early February.

Most countries have classic or historic shows of some kind but it is in the UK that one gets the most opportunities to enjoy these shows. So if you are in the UK, how about some of these: On Sunday and Monday Shepton Mallet showground hosts the Footman James Great Western Classic Car Show. The showground is filled to the rafters with specialist traders, parts suppliers and jumble stands offering missing pieces of restoration and maintenance puzzles at bargain prices.

The big one, particularly as far as this writer is concerned, is the International Historic Motorsports Exhibition at Stoneleigh showground in Warwickshire later this month.

I will be attending this one for the full three days. It’s a fabulous show and this is what ‘Motor Sport’ magazine had to say about it: “This year’s Race Retro, powered by Motor Sport has received a record number of entries for the Live Rally Stage, with some amazing exworks cars and motor sport legends celebrated.

Organised by Rallying with Group B, the show is set to transform the grounds of Stoneleigh Park on Saturday 23 and Sunday February 24 to create some high-octane live action with over 250 entries considered for the final list of ‘runners and riders.’

Those that did make it into the Parc Ferme include Chris Robson’s 1982 Citroen Visa UK ex-works rally car, the first purpose-built rally car to be homologated into Group B and

racing! Simply head over to the Rallying with Group B marquee next to the Live Rally Stage during your visit.

Along with the tarmac-tearing action outdoors, the show will come to life over the three days inside within the four halls. The Motor Sport Hall of Fame Live will present an outstanding showcase celebrating the late Mike Hawthorn, the turbocharged era with a Williams FW11 driven by Nelson Piquet and the legacy of Le Mans with an Audi R8C that made its debut in the 1999 24-hour race.

As well as a stunning lineup of iconic cars, there will be celebrity interviews on the Motor Sport Live Stage, 250 specialist exhibitors, the Pride of the Paddock competition featuring motors from every discipline of motor sport and plenty more to enjoy.”

The CCCA will have several representatives there and our own Mike Anderson will be joining some rallying superstars, giving demo rides around the rally stage in his stunning Ford Sierra Cosworth. He’s even offered me a

drive which should be good!

The next event for the CCCA is its annual Treasure Hunt and Classic Car Run this Saturday. The day will start at 11am from Morenos near Mijas/Alhaurin and will finish at the beautiful Safari Lounge at Club La Costa in Mijas Costa.

Cars should arrive there from 2.30pm.

We’ll report on this event in our next issue.

La Liga Review

“When we were in our half we defended well and the whole team deserves credit for that,” Courtois added.

Madrid dominated the possession with a rate of 71.4 per cent to A la v es ’ 2 8 . 6 p er c e nt. R e fe re e Jaime Latre handed out three yellow cards to the team from Vitoria and none to Madrid.

Both sides had three offsides apiece.

Benzema’s goal, the first of the match, was scored with the help of Reguilon. Vinicius’ goal at the 80th minute was the first for the Bra z ilia n p lay er in a La Liga game.

Odriozola knocked the ball into the net in the 89th minute but it was disallowed due to it being offside. Mariano followed minutes later with the goal that brought the total score to 3 - 0.

VICTORS: Real Madrid won by three goals.

Premier Review

Terriers’ games in Spain

MANCHESTER CITY’S Sergio Agüero scored a hat trick that led his team to a 3 - 1 victory against Arsenal, closing the gap between league leaders Liverpool by two points.

Agüeros’ hat trick was his 10th in the Premier League and his 14th for Manchester City. Manager Pep Guardiola said he was “delighted” with the Argentinian striker’s performance.

The v i c t o r y c o m e s a w ee k afte r Manchester City suffered defeat at the hands of Newcastle United. Guardiola said Manchester “did not recognise themselves” following the loss.

“What is important is being ourselves. That’s what I want. We spoke in the last days. We didn’t recognise our team in the last game. They know it, they felt the same way. Today at least we came back,” Guardiola said following the Arsenal game.

The Ma n c h e st e r C i ty co ac h s aid Agüero was “born” with talent and that he would die with it.

“I was always delighted with him.

Today, not because of the three goals, because of how he fought for the team.

He has his own quality,” Guardiola said.

Arsenal manager Unai Emery said the side knew they needed “big help” to finish in the top four of the Premier League this season after the result.

“Last week we won and were with Chelsea in fourth position, but we lost

today and lost the position,” Emery said.

Agüero’s goals came in the first, 44th and 61st minutes. Larent Koscielny scored Arsenal’s only goal in the 11th minute.

THE under-19’s side of Huddersfield Town travelled to Sevilla for training last week ahead of a match with the city’s junior team today (Thursday).

The trip saw the junior side of the English club beat local side Real Betis Balompie three goals to one. Huddersfield said the under-19’s showed plenty in their defeat of a “quality side.”

Kian Harratt, Huddersfield’s 16-year-old striker, netted a goal for the team after coming on as a substitute.

Dean Whitehead’s side took the opportunity to hone their skills while in the south of Spain. Whitehead said the trip would be a “real learning experience” for the younger players and added it was the first such jaunt for many of them.

“You have to get used to the travel and representing the Club in a proper way, as well as playing in a different country against players

REAL MADRID edged closer to Barcelona and Atletico in the La Liga table after beating Alaves by three goals to nil in the Spanish capital on Sunday.

Karim Benzema scored the first goal about half an hour into the match. Vinicus Junior bagged the second goal in the 80th minute and Mariano got the final one 91 minutes into the match.

It comes as Benzema has scored six goals in the last four games.

Mariano said he was “very happy” to be back playing again.

Goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois said the team needed to enjoy their victory due to them facing a tough run of matches.

“We d e f e n d e d we ll a n d p u t pressure on high up. When we lost the ball we pressed to get it back and made life difficult for them.

who will be technically very good,” Whitehead said.

“There really is a focus on taking the good behaviour we have instilled in them throughout the season into these trips,” the coach added.

Huddersfield Town said Whitehead had taken a very young squad to Spain, with many of those on the club’s under-19 side currently out on loan.

Seven out of 18 of the players came from the under-17 group, Huddersfield Town added.

Mourinho fined for tax fraud FORMER Real Madrid manager, Jose Mourinho, has been convicted on a tax fraud charge in Spain but will not go to jail after reaching an arrangement with authorities.

Instead a one-year prison sentence will be exchanged for a fine of €182,500 which will be added to a separate fine of €2 million.

Sentences of less than two years for first-time or non-violent offenders are rarely enforced in Spain.

Mourinho was accused of owing €3.3 million to Spanish tax authorities from his time at the club in 2011-2012.

Prosecutors said that the Portuguese national had set up multiple business entities to manage his image rights and hide the earnings.

Mourinho is the latest high-profile football personality to strike a deal with Spanish authorities.

In January, Cristiano Ronaldo was slapped with an €18.8m fine and a suspended 23-month jail sentence.

Barcelona’s Lionel Messi paid a €2 million fine in 2016 in another tax case, and also received a 21month jail term.

This was later converted into a €252,000 fine as he too avoided serving any time.

Messi and his father Jorge Horacio Messi were found guilty of using companies in Belize, the United Kingdom, Switzerland and Uruguay to avoid paying taxes on €4.16 million earned from image rights.

The 25-year-old, who has taken home the title of world champion three times so far in her career, collapsed while playing in Jakara against

Marin was leading 9 - 2 when she landed awkwardly.

She got up and scored another point, bringing the score to 10 - 4 before she was forced to leave the court.

Marin could return to the sport in around six months but she could also be off the court for a full year. A rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament can spell an end to careers depending on its severity.
